v4.10.4: Secure HTTPS connections - CLZ Books (Android)

What's new in CLZ Books for Android?

Secure HTTPS connections, for your security and privacy

As indicated in our GDPR email from a couple of weeks ago, we are updating our software and services, to be more secure and to better protect your privacy.

Starting with version 4.10.4, CLZ Books now uses secure HTTPS connections for all communications with our servers:

for logging in with your username and password
for syncing your data with CLZ Cloud
for sending your searches to Core.

To make this possible, we have created new secure “entry points” on our servers, that are only allowing secure HTTPS connections. The new CLZ Books app only communicates with those secure entry points.

For your privacy and security, we strongly recommend updating your app to v4.10.4

Changes

The buttons to switch folders, sorting and view options have been moved to more logical places to make them more accessible.
The skins and templates options are now only available from the settings screen.
The selection mode button has been removed, just tap and hold on an item to start selecting items.

Fixed:

Update from Core could (in some cases) overwrite manually entered information for the Authors, Publisher, ISBN, Series, Edition, Sub title, Dewey, Loc, Width and Height fields.
Re-added index field to book information cell
